Honestly I hate that we erased history because we had 7 bases named after Confederate Generals. Erasing a name does not erase history, we learn from history. They were still Americans.

The truth, the Democrats what to erase their history since it make them look really bad since it was their party who was against abolishing slavery.

I am okay with the name change, but it is still Fort Benning to me.

Just like everything else the history is written by whichever side won the war!
